Cool. What's harder, Cerachrom or the gemstones?

nigelUK · 19 October 2017, 07:16 PM

I've seen worse

AK797 · 19 October 2017, 10:45 PM

If going this way I'd rather rubies for a BLRO imitation.

Flex368 · 19 October 2017, 10:53 PM

I assume it´s a BLNR with aftermarket bezel, the real 116759s don´t have a blue GMT hand.

Also, there is no reference 116749 which in case it´s a modded BLNR would also be incorrect as the 9 states that it´s a WG watch.

moorery2001 · 20 October 2017, 12:38 AM

Cool take on it adding the bling but I think i'll pass on the bling.

beshannon · 20 October 2017, 12:46 AM

That is a real shame

Rhone1 · 20 October 2017, 12:54 AM

It feels like the whole look of the watch was ruined.

So in a way, it's an "official Rolex franken"? :) BLRO WG case + BLNR dial/hands + gems?

It's a WG case.

watchwatcher · 20 October 2017, 02:01 AM

I like the blue on top. I know, I know...day and night function blah blah blah.

It is sacrilege to think blue could ever be on top...unless there's....red (gasp!) on the bottom?

Muzz · 20 October 2017, 02:10 AM

Rolex in the past would never use a coloured GMT hand on these configurations.

My SARU has the plain non cloloured hand so something seems odd about this.

piratepress · 20 October 2017, 03:09 AM

No thanks! Does he have a gold grill to match?

This.

Looks a bit odd but it's WG so I like it!

What?

They took it too far---buy a lot.

tng11 · 5 December 2017, 10:12 AM

An affront to good taste. Send it back to refit a regular BLNR bezel.

Wesley Crusher · 5 December 2017, 10:13 AM

Some of you guys are lame.

That watch is awesome.

Nerry · 5 December 2017, 10:22 AM

too flashy for me.

Function is still the same. Diamonds representative of 2, 4, 6, etc. Blue stones represents nighttime. Black stones represents daytime. I think the only valid criticism of function is that black represents daytime and blue represents night.

10:10 & 10:10am on the GMT hand.

Why? He says it's a limited production piece. Made by Rolex for the China market.

If you don't like it, then that's a valid opinion, but there's nothing shameful about this watch

douglasf13 · 5 December 2017, 11:34 AM

I will never understand gemstones or precious metals in a Rolex Professional model, but to each his/her own.

05carbondrz · 5 December 2017, 11:41 AM

It will most likely be resold in the future for Twice what he paid for it,The Man knows what sells.
